    Hella 139's info needed

    I am completing a 69S coupe restoration and want to install a pair of 139's which I have yet to buy. I have seen a couple different versions and am not sure what would be correct for the car as well as proper installation and hardware required. I hope the experts can post some pics and details so I don't make a mistake. Looking forward to the comments and pics.
    Thanks so much,

    If you don't have to have NOS, newly manufactured 139s are available again....Pelican, Sierra Madre, Stoddard to name a few. That's the easy part, finding the correct switch is more challenging. If you need the harness, you can get a top quality reproduction from Gerard Kroon. Info@kroonwireharnesses.com.

    I purchased a set of the new 139's and they're very nice. But they run about $900 a set and for only a couple hundred bucks more you can buy an NOS set that is even better. Something about the older chrome finish just looks right (IMHO).

    Yes, I believe they do come with mounting hardware.

    I believe the "new" lights have a slightly offset post in the back rather than the dead center of the originals. The post hardware is slightly different as well. They get the job done though.
